Well, I probably can't change the patent situation soon enough, but I can change my mind about attending OSCON this year.
I sure had a nice time last year, and it felt great to be a part of something different - but it looks like things are changing at the O'Reilly camp. Thanks for the fun and learning guys - especially you, Randall! - but I think I'll save my money this year.
If this is what Web 2.0 means, I think will wait for the sequel . . .
It would be good to see one of these city wireless plans finally come to fruition; Philadelphia has been having a tough time finally getting its own initiative off the ground . . . http://www.wirelessphiladelphia.org/
I also look forward to seeing evidence that these initiatives are bridging the 'digital divide' in these cities.
In 2004, MIT's Technology Review picked meetup.com founder Scott Heiferman as innovator of the year (article text conspicuously absent - some detail here. At the time I couldn't believe he was picked over the accomplishments of so many others. Sure he was able to get 1.4 million users, but that was because the service was free! Sad to see it happen to them; I have always, and always will, question the process by which TR came to their decisions (something to do with the 2004 election hype I'm sure).

We created a googlemobile at home, but the baby wasn't interested in it...

you also need not suffer the consequences of second hand smoke . . . the number one reason to NOT see a live band these days, IMO.
No, ENIAC wasn't my first computer - that was a Tandy MC10 - but here is a link to the ENIAC museum.
It seems as though this is only a small part of a bigger issue that is only recently being examined:

They want to know everyone who is looking for Dick & Bush.

What about the required integration of E911 & AGPS?
Wouldn't this affect the usability of this?
just a thought . . .
